Widow stops a pre- garden strike
« on: July 06, 2011, 05:32:00 AM »
I had just came in the house last evening from shooting my bow and just happen to look out the kitchen window and see this guy feeding along the garden fence. I sneaked out the front door and around the house and took a shot at about 16 yrds. This is my first chuck with the bow.

Perfect heart shot.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Use to hunt "Whisle Pigs" in Virginia during the late 60's early 70's with my Wing Thunderbird. Great fun. Farmers liked it to. Those things can do a lot of damage in a hurry. You done good my man.  :thumbsup:
